We had some trouble with things at BRU being discontinued (they seem to have a high turnover rate, which is super annoying), but no trouble with Amazon. Don't remember really with Target.</p> <p>I'm 10.5 weeks now, and just went in today and updated them with the new due date. I doubt we'll get much, since we had showers last time and got all we needed, but I want to be able to use them for first Christmas. Plus I'm sure some people will still buy gifts, even though we say not to, so I'd rather have some guide for them. Once we know if it's a girl or boy (hopefully this week!), I'll pull the girl stuff (if it's a boy) and update them a little more. But surprisingly most of the items were still available, so I didn't have to delete much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022560 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 17:04:02 +0000 youboots 2022560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out Lucy's List for ideas too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022478 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:10:58 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2022478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And just a tip.. we registered at Buy Buy Baby, they have an online registry list to give you an idea what you needed. I researched the big stuff ahead of time and wrote it on that sheet so when we went in I already had an idea of the big important things I wanted to scan and was able to show my husband in person. Then we just scanned some smaller fun things and came home after and looked up reviews on what I registered for and was able to make adjustments online. I also have an amazon registry but most of my things are on BBB because I don't think amazon would get used very much but I did find amazon super helpful when it came to reviews. BBB would maybe have 2-3 reviews on a product I was interested in and amazon would have hundreds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022462 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:04:53 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2022462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did at 25 weeks. I just wanted it at least started by the time my shower invites went out, but people don't really start getting shower gifts till it gets closer so I knew I had a lot of time to keep revamping it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022427 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:39:14 +0000 MrsBrewer 2022427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Yep, I would definitely go to the store to register for places like Babies R Us, Target, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022422 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:35:34 +0000 youboots 2022422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you do an in store registry I reccomend registering in store with a scanner to you are asking for what is actually available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022419 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:34:52 +0000 youboots 2022419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: it depends if you register at a store in person or online. I did not have that problem at Amazon but I did at Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022415 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:33:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 2022415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: good to know about the items being discontinued!! I wouldn't have even thought about that!</p> <p>Hmm...I guess I could always just keep checking my registry, and make sure that everything is still available! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022414 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:32:53 +0000 mrsjyw 2022414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't start anything until after the anatomy scan. I think I started a registry online at 25/26 weeks? First shower was at 29 weeks!</p> <p>This time around I started a small, private one on Amazon just for myself for a list of things we want to buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022410 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:31:54 +0000 FaithFertility 2022410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: We did one at BRU right after 20weeks<br /> But many things we registered for by the time I had my shower were discontinued :/<br /> Be careful with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022380 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:19:02 +0000 Circusbee 2022380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started it around 13 or 14 weeks just so I could have time to research stuff and not be rushed at all. I didn't tell anyone about them until much later after we'd found out the sex and the showers were scheduled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022284 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:43:07 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2022284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 13 weeks and am considering starting a private one to save the items that I have read reviews about so I don't get confused and have to do more research later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2022221 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:15:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2022221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already had some stuff saved on Amazon when I was TTC and came across random items so I won't forget. I continued to research and add stuff, once we found out the sex I officially made them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021956 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:19:25 +0000 youboots 2021956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit before you but it was private. I added items as I researched them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021908 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:56:06 +0000 Anya 2021908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um.. before I conceived! Haha. It was private though, I just wanted to save things as I found/researched them.</p> <p>It was "set up" and public around 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021866 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:36:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2021866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started around 18 weeks for the basics and then added gender stuff once we knew. I also had a Target and Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021853 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:19:08 +0000 ineebee 2021853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started and almost-finished it last weekend, at 28 weeks! I think that's kind of on the late side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021842 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:14:49 +0000 Smurfette 2021842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 22 weeks, once we knew the gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021832 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:09:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 2021832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: ohh okay, that makes sense! We are team green, so no finding out the sex for us. I guess we could start it any time then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021820 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:02:17 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2021820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we started a registry at Target once we found out the sex. I started an Amazon baby wishlist early though, because I would put things that caught my eye as I read articles/blogs/etc and turned the wishlist into a registry later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-your-registry#post-2021804 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:55:01 +0000 MrsBrewer 2021804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 20 weeks this Friday, and my MIL just asked if we have a registry set up yet! Umm....I haven't even thought about it yet!! </p> <p>Am I behind schedule already?! </p>
